How do you survive winter during a pandemic without a place to live, plus money for heat and clothes and food? How does the human dimension of all this get so lost? This is not about economics; it’s about human suffering and we should say so.

The sociopaths who willfully withhold M4A, UBI, GND/jobs guarantee, $25/min wage, SL forgiveness, legal weed & the ppl who “don’t support” their policies but are too afraid to assertively & relentlessly say so are the reason why this is happening. Fish rots from the head down.

And such a focus can help us avoid inflammatory language. Mitigating the pain and humiliation of others needs to be a focal point of our politics.

We’re locked inside our indoctrinated brains which has engrained capitalism in us since kindergarten, conditioning us to accept poverty and suffering as “their own fault” by way of individualism. And we’ve fallen for it. 👇

Rotting Produce, Vacant Luxury Apartments, and Fake Scarcity in a Pandemic

Leaving essentials like food and shelter to the whims of the market produces an extreme kind of disorganization.

Apparently the city authorities of Denver, Portland, Seattle and others are NOT concerned w the welfare of homeless / houseless people. They continue to conduct sweeps in spite of CDC telling them NOT to. Gee, what does this tell us about the Mayors & Police clearing camps?
